Lexus sort of grumbled as she
shuffled off to her dog house,
clearly suffering from some
combination of confusion and
disappointment.

That just put a *great* picture in my head. Thanks....

I have-his name is Oreo and he's a *great* dog.

If a non-reactive dog were free
to visit, do you think it might
desensitize them?

It could work. The one problem,
a biggie, is that even a non-
reactive dog might place a
nose or paw where a highly
reactive dog like Lexus or
Ruckus could and, especially
in Lexus's case, would grab it.

Also, (please doG, don't let me
use the word 'jealousy', or I'm in
trouble) do you think the sight
of a dog on-leash is more provocative,
because it's a signal that it's going somewhere, and they're not?

If the jealous dog is used to
going on leash, the leash is
something to get jealous
about. (I see no problem
with using the terms 'jealous'
and 'jealousy' in appropriate
contexts.)

Don't see, though, how they could be better than some of the rescues
I've encountered.

They may or may not be
better trained than the best
rescue Pit Bulls. But it's
a slam dunk that their basic
temps aren't discernibly better
than the best rescue Pit Bulls.
